Beeeej djk26 U-H-N! Anyone remember this from the (gosh I'm old) 2002 NCAAs in Worcester, MA? New Hampshire fans had their "UNH" signs in the wrong order. Oh, yeah, I definitely remember that... I'm the guy who waited until the "U! H! N!" chanting died down, leaving a perfect moment of silence, then yelled, "HEY! DID YOU GET SIX CREDITS FOR THAT ART PROJECT??"by French Rage - Hockey

Re: Season's Over - 4 years ago
Swampy abmarks A columnist in North Dakota agrees with the people wanting banners. Pretty well argued opinion original Grand Forks Herald In that sense, UND and Cornell (which is USCHO's No. 1) are every bit as deserving of the national champion label as Nebraska's 1994 football team, Michigan's 1997 team, all those lauded Notre Dame football teams and so many others. ...

Re: Corona Virus And Playoff Games - 4 years ago
Swampy Trotsky JasonN95 Trotsky A 2-loss season and finishing with a 9-game wining streak wouldn't be bad. With the last game being just about the most complete 60 minutes of quality play/all-out effort from Cornell that I can recall from recent memory. (Looking for the silver lining...)

Re: Corona Virus And Playoff Games - 4 years ago
underskill and maybe award the NC to the team that finished #1 in the polls... And before someone says the pairwise, that's only a formula designed specifically for picking and seeding the tournament, not for determining who people feel is the best team. For that, you have to go to the polls! (We all buying this?)by French Rage - Hockey
Re: Corona Virus And Playoff Games - 4 years ago
scoop85 So the NBA season is now suspended after Rudy Gobert of the Jazz tested positive for the virus (why he was tested I have no idea, since he said he was feeling well enough to play). Hard to see any sports events going forward at this point. I suppose if no player/coach in the sport has caught it yet, there's a chance it goes on. But the NBA certainly is going to set a precedent that ifby French Rage - Hockey

Dafatone upprdeck lets just hope they keep playing This is where I'm at. I'm all for drastic measures, and I think barring fans is the right move. But playing the games in front of an empty crowd seems low risk enough. Yeah at this point I'd come to peace with not being there in person, but I still want there to be games.by French Rage - Hockey

Trotsky Jeff Hopkins '82 KenP I hear there are bars in New Rochelle offering all-day happy hour..... You're just not allowed to sit down, touch the tables, or eat any food. Or high five... Or cheer...No direct eye contact. You're thinking of the Birdbox monster. This won't transform into that for at least a couple more months.by French Rage - Hockey

Re: PU @ CU - 4 years ago
jkahn Swampy Trotsky I think it would be cool if they allowed one fan per section. It would be funny. It would be a throwback to the old tradition of "auditions" at Lynah which has sadly fallen by the wayside. Imagine one person in the exact middle of each section holding up a newspaper. Now THAT is performance art. +100 But ... I heard they're giving players 3 spectator pby French Rage - Hockey

Swampy French Rage scoop85 Here's Pollack's notification to the Cornell community. Interestingly it doesn't say all athletic events will be cancelled, but rather that each member will be strictly limited to 3 guests per participant. So maybe there's a little hope that the games can continue. So how do we expand the hockey roster to roughly 1000 players? For how much are the players selling tby French Rage - Hockey
Re: Corona Virus And Playoff Games - 4 years ago
I don't know if this is too pie-in-the-sky, but would there be a way to set up something like a Zoom meeting with the game broadcasting? That way, you can hear all of the other fans while the game is going on, sort of like a VR rink experience?by French Rage - Hockey

andyw2100 French Rage andyw2100 Trotsky Dartmouth scores with 2.3 seconds to go. 4-4. The icing Princeton took that led to that goal was just stupid. The Princeton player chose to take a ridiculous shot at the empty net over doing something smarter with the puck that would have allowed his team to advance. Just really dumb play.

Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 4 years ago
Trotsky Whoa. I was expecting an accidental collision. That really, really looks intentional, but I've never seen a guy just lose his mind like that. As someone pointed out in the comments, he's probably just sealing off the boards and doesn't see the ref. Looks worse (and funnier) than it is.by French Rage - Hockey
